Answer 2

$\huge\green{\mathfrak{Answer:-}}$

$\blue{\boxed{NO}}$, his height in the image is actually same as his original height

as dressing mirrors are plane mirrors.

According to the properties of image formed by the reflection by a plane mirror, we know:

i)The image formed is virtual.

ii)The image is erect

iii)The image is laterally inverted

iv)Distance between the image and the mirror is same as the distance between the mirror and the object.

v)Height of the image is same as the object.

From property (v) it is clear that the height of the image is NOT lesser than his original height, but is SAME as his original size.
